Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6

[ #inspiration #Mercedes ]Every August classic car fans from around the world converge on Pebble Beach in California for a very special beauty contest. This gathering of magnificent classic cars is the stage to premiere the exclusive Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, a sensational luxury-class coupé. The 2+2‑s eater is a homage to the glorious age of the aero coupés and consciously carries this tradition forward into the future. The coupé reinterprets classic, emotional design principles in an extreme way, following the Mercedes design philosophy of sensual purity.
The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, which measures almost six metres in length, is designed as an electric car. Mercedes-Benz fitted the concept with an electric drivetrain with 738 HP and a range of over 200 miles, provided by an 80 kW lithium-ion battery mounted beneath the car’s floor and four compact motors driving each wheel. Those should take the car running on gigantic 24-inch rims, from a standstill to 62 mph in approximately 4 seconds. The concept car should hit an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.
